Lyrics

It's 4 in the morning I'm starting to panic,

Expressing anxiety and urgency at 4 in the morning.

Feeling the weight of last nights emphatic situations,

Feeling the burden of intense situations from the previous night.

Alone in a car park face down on the asphalt

Describing a moment of solitude, face down in a car park.

If you could have seen me, you would believe me.

Suggesting that the speaker's condition is visible and believable if witnessed.

Remember the winters we got to wear sweaters,

Recalling memories of winters, symbolized by wearing sweaters.

Play in the snowflakes, ride bikes using no brakes,

Reflecting on carefree times, playing in the snow and riding bikes without brakes.

It felt like the first time!

Nostalgic about a particular moment that felt like the first time.


I need time to rest my head against my knees.

Expressing a need for time and emotional space, adopting a protective posture.

You're not alone don't break your back to find me,

Assuring someone that they are not alone and advising against excessive effort to find them.

I need more than this to make me change my mind.

Stating a requirement for more than the current situation to prompt a change of mind.

You're not alone, don't break my heart to help me!

Reiterating that the person is not alone and urging not to cause emotional pain.


It's 4 in the morning my ankles are swollen

Describing physical discomfort at 4 in the morning, linking it to alcohol consumption.

I'm stumbling home from the bar and it's morning,

Stumbling home in the morning, expressing a desire for change in the upcoming day.

I feel like tomorrow I'm going to change this

Hopeful about a transformation in the future.

Start a new day here and one day embrace it..

Desiring to start anew and eventually accept and appreciate life.

Remember the summers we never wore sweaters

Recalling summers, emphasizing a lack of need for sweaters.

Played in the parklands and lazed about hammocks

Recollecting carefree times in parklands and relaxing in hammocks.

Dreaming of spring time, autumn and lovers!

Dreaming of various seasons and romantic connections.

And we never gave into becoming nothing until now

Acknowledging a resistance to becoming nothing until the present moment.


I need time to rest my head against my knees.

Repeating the need for time and emotional solace.

You're not alone don't break your back to find me,

Reassuring that the person is not alone and discouraging excessive efforts to find them.

I need more than this to make me change my mind.

Stating a requirement for more than the current situation to prompt a change of mind.

You're not alone, don't break my heart to help me!

Reiterating that the person is not alone and urging not to cause emotional pain.

And this was the first time I felt like falling away!

Reflecting on the first time the speaker felt like falling away.


Don't let this get you down until it's pinned you down

Advising not to let negative experiences bring one down completely.

The bottle was all I needed

Indicating reliance on a bottle as a coping mechanism.
